Amityville II: The Possession (1982)
Director: Damiano Damiani
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Prequel to The Amityville Horror which begins in much the same way, except that the tenants arriving here are presented as jerks: noisy, working class Italian Catholics who don't deserve to live in a Long Island WASP mansion, even one where blood comes out of the kitchen taps from time to time. And clearly we are not meant to care when the eldest boy (Magner), who has been contacted by a demon on his Walkman and is gradually acquiring the rotten teeth and gooseberry eyes of the possessed, wastes the entire family. Awful.Author: JS
